“Permit me to introduce myself. I am a lion. Anyone who calls me a ‘cat’ is a liar and a bounder. If you call me a ‘cat,’ I will have no choice but to attack you and defend my leonine honor.”
This is beautiful. I’ve seen reflections on water from flat calm to rough and never saw anything like this, so I’m postulating, with deep admiration, that this is a post processed work of art.

Yes, she does manipulate her photographs. The one below is called “Time Warp“; taken facing north on Granville Street in Vancouver.
My teacher told me, way back in grade four, that a smooth globe, even a shiny one, was actually more realistic than the relief globe I was admiring on his desk.
The three or four tallest mountains in the world are all around 5.5 miles high, and the deepest bits of the ocean maybe 7 miles deep.
It’s 25 thousand miles around the equator.
A huge giant picking up the earth might not even feel any roughness.
you’ve missed the 100m elevation component to the direction as I did on the first read through. It doesn’t say it landed at the end, so it should still be 100m up 😉
The official answer copied verbatim from the site listed.
More-Cats-…, and Liverlips interpretations are different from each other;
The writer of the problem forgot that a math problem requires clarity, and this one is not clear.
The official answer is not clear either.
If the problem is interpreted a different way again, Kanpur is 126 metres above sea level….
I went to Google Earth to see if there any mountains or other obstructions in the flight path over 100m. It’s clear, not even an airport to encroach on.
Today’s Songs:
‘Tequila,’ ‘The 59th Street Bridge Song,’ ‘The Needle And The Damage Done,’ and ‘The Sounds of Silence,’ and the ‘Cheap Thrills Cuisine’ recipe ‘Broccoli Trail Mix Salad.’
The ‘B’ side of the record (it was essentially a jam session) that outdid the ‘A’ side. I found the song the jam session is supposed to be based on, but I don’t see it, so I haven’t linked to it. It was a D.J. in Cleveland (name not given) who played the ‘B’ side originally; by Wikipedia.
Actually written about a walk Paul Simon took on the bridge one morning.
About the damage and deaths caused by the drug addictions of people he knew.
This is the cover by the Chicago heavy-metal group ‘Disturbed’. The song was never ‘light’ as such, but ‘Disturbed ‘ takes it to a whole new level of darkness. The original by ‘Simon and Garfunkel’ remains my favourite, but I like this too.
I’d soften the broccoli a bit more than two minutes, and I’d use salted peanuts instead of pecans, the fruit / yoghurt mix sounds good.
Here in the UK there are a couple of websites where you can list things that you want to give away, one such is ‘Freecycle’. I’ve given away items in the past, and obtained some items as well. The whole thing about it is it’s saving stuff going to landfill, you can even post ‘Wanted’s’ and hope someone is willing to give away the item you need.
So browsing through the listings the other day, I came across an external DVD Writer, and a couple of Automatic Pet Feeders from different members. After contacting the members and arranging a date/time to collect, off I went this morning to pick up the items, a round trip of about an hour and three quarters as they were in opposite directions, but all it was costing me was time and some diesel fuel, so all good.
On the way home, the rear silencer (Muffler) and tailpipe decided to part ways with the rest of the exhaust on my vehicle……..
I managed to wrestle (Read ‘kick’) the offending item off of its supports so it wasn’t dragging on the ground and continued on my journey home.
The grinding of the steel casing on the road was certainly audible! The strange thing is that the vehicle doesn’t sound really any different without the rear silencer. It’s probably down to the fact that it’s a turbo diesel (The turbo will muffle the sound through the exhaust somewhat) and that it’s still got the front silencer in place.
amen to that….I spoke with her Sunday …
she struggles to put her thoughts into words and I makes me wonder if she is aware of everything that’s going on around her and of her now horrid situation and simply can’t
communicate….I say things to her , sometimes silly things and she laughs and answers questions with yes or no but not beyond that–
-oh , and she says ‘oh boy ,oh boy’ often, as if to say can you believe this happened to me?
Oh boy.
Talk about a juxtaposition, of timing.
I had Alexi’s music selection playing, the Disturbed – Sounds of Silence clip, and I had just started reading your update about Stel, Nighthawks.
And it came to me, listening to the song, and reading about her progress, that she IS, and remains, a fighter.
Lord willing, she will overcome this, perhaps not totally, but significantly.
I’ve seen this before. And, “The wheels are turning, and someone is home.”
Blessings to Stel.
Got on here to see how Stel is doing. I had to laugh a little when I read your last line. When my husband was in the hospital, after being sedated for a long time, he went through a short period where he would say ‘oh boy, oh boy’. He doesn’t remember it now. Weird!
.
Hansom boy!
“Permit me to introduce myself. I am a lion. Anyone who calls me a ‘cat’ is a liar and a bounder. If you call me a ‘cat,’ I will have no choice but to attack you and defend my leonine honor.”
All lions are cats, but not all cats are lions.
A Maine Coon cat… er… lion… most likely.
Siberian Forest
ca… lions… can have ruffs, but AFAIK not the lynx-like ear tips.In any case this is a magnificent mane for either!
And look at those paws!
the better to shred you with, my dear
NOSE!

Beautiful!
What do you mean “she manipulates her photographs”? I see nothing off-kilter in this photo.
She took out the tangerine trees and marmalade skies.
Yikes… those Rockies are a hundred miles high!
My teacher told me, way back in grade four, that a smooth globe, even a shiny one, was actually more realistic than the relief globe I was admiring on his desk.

{Whew}, what a relief.
groan!
Boo! 😀
,,
This fella’s just waiting for his wife to “put her face on.”
Another of the grotesques on Notre Dame…
The smaller, plainer guy sticking out at his feet is a gargoyle.
People tend to call the grotesques “gargoyles” but the real gargoyles funnel water through their hollow bodies and open mouths.
Kinda like your aunt’s cow shaped syrup dispenser.
Keeping an eye on the government.
2 NOSES!!
,.
My estimate exactly.
OTOH it probably moves without turning, in which case, never mind
It says constant altitude, so maybe it launched at 100 meters.
That’s pretty unclear.
If I were a teacher I’d accept either answer, especially if explained.
More-Cats-…, and Liverlips interpretations are different from each other;
The writer of the problem forgot that a math problem requires clarity, and this one is not clear.
The official answer is not clear either.

Answer : Same Place where it started
Nope.
And this is why attention to detail is important during flight otherwise things crash into other things!
I went to Google Earth to see if there any mountains or other obstructions in the flight path over 100m. It’s clear, not even an airport to encroach on.
Hmmm… I just addressed that in my answer to MCTS above
it’s too early for thinking!!!
I used to buy these! !
If you could flip it over, you would see another cover picture illustrating a different story.
Mars needs women!
Seven brides for seven Martians
Or Moms.
NOSE!
YOU CAN READ THE STORY AT THIS LINK
Thank you.
,,,
Shhh…
Babby bunny!
Aww!
Have another one 😉
Don’t wake them; their mothers are happy they’re finally asleep…
I’ll see your two and raise you one.
I do not remember this movie poster. However, that does not mean it has not run previously.
I like the conceit of having another actress playing CLEO.
If you think about it, any posters of StelBel’s that we’ve seen recently could only be reruns.
The date on this one is when it first ran… way back in 2016.
I remember it ran again a few years ago, too
But works of art are good for more than one viewing!
‘Tequila,’ ‘The 59th Street Bridge Song,’ ‘The Needle And The Damage Done,’ and ‘The Sounds of Silence,’ and the ‘Cheap Thrills Cuisine’ recipe ‘Broccoli Trail Mix Salad.’

I can never hear Tequila without picturing this scene…
Wow, “Tequila” and “The Needle and the Damage Done” two amazing songs with almost opposite messages. Great choices!
This is a very different version of this song.
Well, I remember this movie!
Ursula Undress was quite the…. um…. the….
She was that word that we’re not supposed to use here.
The word humans use for…. well…. a kinda growly female who bites…..
even though it really only means… um… female dog who’s ready to have your puppies…. va-va-voom.
SHE who must be obeyed.
….
I remember when the humans tried to copy it…
I mean both the movie and Stel’s posters, but with people.
Not a single basset hound.
What’s the point?
I remember the actress who played Cleopatra.
She was pretty, but she sure didn’t have the “va-va-voom” quality of Ms. Undress…. even though I’m told she was famous.
Besides, human posters don’t even have glitter.
No wonder I’m a fan of basset movies.

what is all that racket?

stel,,,,,,,,,,, we’re still thinking about you!!!

What a heartache.
thanks for your update, NH !!!
oh, i can’t believe this is happening to her, either!
Oh boy.

Good to see your byline again. Hope things are going as well as possible.
you are another one on our prayer list!
